                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                3. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case

                   registered for the offence under Sections 341, 323, 504, 34 of
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.91085 of 2025(6) dt.08-07-2026

          the Indian Penal Code and Sections 4 & 6 of the POCSO Act.

                       4. Informant alleged that co-accused Anil Kumar

          Yadav established physical relation with her on pretext of

          marriage, on account of which, she became pregnant and when

          informant & other family members requested before the family

          members of co-accused Anil to solemnize marriage, they

          demanded Rs. 5 lakhs, as dowry, and when informant protested,

          she was abused & assaulted and also threatened.

                       5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

          petitioner no. 2 Bechani Devi is mother and petitioner no. 5

          Sunita Kumar is unmarried sister of co-accused Anil Yadav.

          Specific accusation is against co-accused Anil Yadav. So far as

          accused Anil Yadav. The victim, in her statement recorded under

          these petitioners.           Petitioners are ladies and claim clean
